Work stress

How do you get back to internal peace when you feel like screaming and breaking things because work is asking too much? What do you do on your 5 minutes break to regain your sanity?

Ok I found one way… Here’s a good’un!

Pilots and Attendants to passengers: Whilst thinking about flying off on summer holidays (just in case you are)….. Apparently real announcements from pilots and cabin crew.

1) Pilot: “Folks, we have reached cruising altitude now, so I am going to switch the seatbelt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land. It’s a bit cold outside and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern.”

2) Airline attendant during safety demonstration: “There may be fifty ways to leave your lover, but there are only four ways out of this aeroplane.”

3) Stewardess after a bumpy touchdown “We ask you to please remain seated whilst Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal.”

4) Loudspeaker announcement after landing: “Thank you for flying Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride.”

5) Attendant from same airline: “Welcome aboard. To operate your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into the buckle and pull tight. If you don’t know how to operate one then you really shouldn’t be out unsupervised. “In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child with you, secure your own mask before assisting with theirs. If you are travelling with two small children, decide now which one you love more”.

6) Pilot: “The weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but they’ll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember…..nobody loves you or your money more than this airline”.

7) Stewardess: “Your seat cushions can be used for flotation. In an emergency water landing, please take one with our compliments”.

9) Flight attendant after rough landing: “Please remain in your seats with your seatbelts fastened while the Captain taxis what’s left of our plane to the terminal gate”.

10) Stewardess: “As you exit, please make sure to gather your belongings. Anything left behind will be evenly distributed among the attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses”.

11) Pilot: “We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry…..sadly none of them are on this flight”.

12) Flight attendant: ” Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and his crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt up against the terminal gate. Once the tyre-smoke has cleared and the warning bells stop, we’ll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal”.

13) Steward: “We’d like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurised metal tube, we hope you’ll think of us”.

16) Pilot “Welcome aboard flight 163 to New York, we shall be flying at oh my god!… oh no!…. Jesus Christ!……. sorry about that folks, I’ve just spilt my coffee, you should see the front of my trousers.”
Passenger… “You should see the back of mine.”

Oh hello there!
